Sleeping With the Enemy: "More Doctors Smoke Camels” Revisited

Abstract

In this issue of Social Medicine we offer readers two “classic” papers on tobacco activism which originally appeared in the New York State Journal of Medicine in 1983. These papers are introduced by Dr. Alan Blum who was editor of the journal at the time. This editorial will examine the modern equivalents of cigarette advertising and their connections with several of our most important medical associations: the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Family Practice (AAFP), and the American Medical Association (AMA).
